Screen Futures – Jake Clelend (SYN)

Federation Square.

We spoke to Jake Clelend, Independent Writer, 1700 Host and SYN Contributor about his current adventures with freelance writing.

We also asked his thoughts about being on the same panel (Writing for the Digital Media) as Amber Jamieson (Crikey), Simon Goodrich (Portable Media), Adele Walsh (State Library of Vic) and Andrew McDonald (Online Manager – Readings, and ex SYNner).

Jake is well ahead of his age when it comes to any type of writing. He has been writing professionally about music for the past two years, with pieces ranging from gig guides to album reviews, to illuminating articles, such as his recent Big Issue published, “The Internet Kills Pop Stars”.
